Dialogue between James Altucher and Mark Cuban via James Altucher Podcast.
Altucher: "But what I noticed going back to all of your ventures is that for you, your primal passions came first. You wanted to watch basketball, so you started AudioNet."
Mark Cuban: No. My first passion –
James Altucher: Your passions clearly came first.
Mark Cuban: – was getting rich, RIght?
James Altucher: All right. That’s a good passion. [Laughs]
Mark Cuban: That was my first passion. Going back to when I was a kid, I always wanted to work for myself.
So with MicroSolutions, I got fired, and so I didn’t have a lot of choices, but I had a
customer to come with me.
So my passion for starting a business, my goals, that led into me actually starting MicroSolutions with no money, six guys living in a three-bedroom apartment, sleeping on the floor, but I just went for it.
And it wasn’t because I was passionate about systems integration.
It wasn’t ‘cause I was passionate about computers even though I liked them.
I’d never really taken computers in school, but I got into it, and I was good at – you know, the more I worked at it, the better I got at it, the better I got at working with software and writing software and doing networking.
The better I got at it, the more passionate I became about it; the more passionate that I became about it, the better I got at it. But it was really putting in the time and my desire to be self-employed and to be an entrepreneur that really drove it.
